Closed online Casinos

Almost every week there are new online casinos opening up their doors on the internet. But almost the same amount of them are closing in the same period. Some casinos get out of money, some close the doors suddenly without any notice and other inform their players and partners in advance. The casinos that do it the correct way stop accepting players at a certain moment and they inform their players to withdraw their money.

There are also a lot of different casinos that change from owner. In the online casino industry there are a lot of mergers and casinos being sold. When a casino is getting sky high it is very interesting for big companies to buy these casinos but when a casino is losing money or when the wallet is getting empty the owners most of the time want to get rid of the casino. If you are a player of a casino that gets a new owner you probably won’t notice anything. But when a casino goes bankrupt or when a casino rebrands you will notice it. In most cases you get informed by email if the casino gets a rebrand or your player account is being transfered to a new casino. In that case you don’t need to register a new account and you can keep on playing at the new casino.

On this page we are going to tell you all about the closed online casinos and casinos that are closing down.

Casino rebranded

A lot of companies rebrand during the years. Online Casinos also rebrand now and then. Most owners use a rebrand to improve the performance and effectiveness of the casino brand. Most of the time the casino changes a few of the following things when rebranding. name, logo, software, available games, payment options. A rebrand is always to make the casino better for you as a player. With a rebrand a casino has a new chance of growing and developing in the market. With a better gaming experience they hope to get more loyal players and new players. The following casinos rebranded in 2017

Of course a company can get bankrupt or a company can stop operating. This happens every day in the wotld. And this also happens with online casinos now and than. If a casino doesn’t see any growth or when they have a negative cashflow a casino can decide to close the doors. Most casinos close the doors by the supervising authoritiy due to their licensing. In that case the casino tries to arrange everything for the players and the money those players still have in their accounts. A casino that does it the correct way contacts the players and asks the players to withdraw their casino savings. When a casino has a UK licence you receive your money back in 99% of the times a casino closes the doors. But when casinos have licences from Curacao or Malta this percentage is a bit lower.

Casinos redirected to other online casinos

I most of the cases when a casino closes the doors all visitors are redirected to other online casinos owned by the company. In some cases a casino closes and that casino was a white label of company that delivers white label casinos it is possible that this company takes care of the casino and their players. The company redirects the players and the new traffic to a white label brand owned by another client of this company. In the past this happened wuth 21Casino, FruityCasa and Hello Casino.
